My Question or Issue

There is no slider on the progress bar while I am listening to a song to adjust the time, I just have to listen to the song from start to finish. This problem only occurs on this device, I've tried restarting, uninstalling.

Hey there @31x63kfvr5qor52dpiew, 

Thanks for your reply. 

We can confirm that this is currently expected behavior with the free version on mobile. 

Since the free tier on mobile has some playback limitations, such as selecting a specific song or listening in a desired order, moving the slider to choose a part of a track is also not currently available for created playlists or albums. However, it's still available in selected playlists created for you, like the Daily Mix or some podcasts as well.
 

Hope this clears things up. If you need a hand with anything else, the Community is here for you.

It appears that you have removed the seek bar. What kind of limitation is this? We use many other apps for online music where we can utilize the seek bar to avoid replaying certain sections. This is the first time I've seen the seek bar being removed, wow! You must learn from other apps out there. Due to the absence of a seek bar, the user experience with your app is getting worse. Is your main goal just to make money? Do you not have any standards?

Hey folks,

Sounds like you're seeing one of the recent changes our tech team has made.

At Spotify, we're often testing and launching improvements to the app. This means you might occasionally see something your friend doesn’t, or get a new feature to try temporarily. Your feedback is important and valuable to us, so thanks for sharing it here! Rest assured it has been forwarded to the relevant team.

You can still listen to all the songs, artists, and playlists you like in the new experience. You could also try our Premium offers to play any song anytime, get unlimited skips, download songs, and more.

The Community is always here if something else comes up.

Cheers!

Cap. I never faced such issues before. This has been the case only recently (for like a month or so). Even after the recent update where u guys made shuffle and play in order premium features (Not cool -_-), it’s not mentioned anywhere that you need premium to change playback position in the playing song. And, fyi, it’s not working on daily mix as well. Pls resolve this issue ASAP before you guys start losing customers to Amazon Prime Music and it’s too late. 

[LegendaryBruh]

Nice improvement. Really helpful. Thank you for making our music listening experience so smooth that we are unable to change the playback position in the currently playing song. Business strategy of the year 👏👏👏

[LegendaryBruh]

They have really a good business strategy of making money by compromising on customer satisfaction and losing customers in the process.

However, in march 2024, we have a trend about this here. Feel free to have a look there, should the issue persist.
